People abandon flaming car


Three people on Saturday night 100m from the Bay-park Speedway abandoned a car on the side of the road at  about 11pm that night. Flames started flying from the dashboard. Lindsay said that the occupants of the car could smell smoke before they could see any of the flames. " Cars can develop flames quickly. The fire is believed to be caused by an electrical fault.

My Opinion: I am wondering if they are the people who called the fire brigade and how did this happen as supposed to an electrical fault.

Leadership speech

Homework.

Excellence in the Arts.

Present a speech in front of house hui.

At the start of term 1, we were given the opportunity to write a speech and present it in front of the rimu house hui explaining why I wanted to be house leader. I spent hours writing down ideas and crossing some out but out of all that I created a fantastic speech to read in front of my fellow students.
Sadly I didn't get the role but it was worth the try. I don't know how well I had done but I hope it wasn't to bad.

Below is my speech for you to read:

Hello students and teachers, my name is Aimee and I am here to talk to you about becoming your house leader, you see I would be a good leader for the following reasons. I treat others equally rather than individually. I follow the stars which means........ I will always make sure others and myself are safe, I work as a team making sure everyone is included in the working, I help people achieve there goals at a high standard, and I respect others and their belongings. Finally “S” for sense of humour which I am known for.

For me leadership also means to be proactive and take responsibility and prioritising and do the most important things first, it also means having a everyone can win attitude.

As a leader I will provide service and you can always have faith in me . I am enthusiastic and thoughtful. I do the best I can in all areas of my schooling.

Just like red ants I work as a team and form a team by bringing people or ants together. Ants trouts one another and are open to share their ideas to find out what they are looking for. I will bring help and make a task our project not mine. I will present ideas if the present one is not working. So please let me have the opportunity for being a leader of the rimu red ant colony. Thank you for listening


So that's my Homework challenge keep tuned for more posts

Big Day out to rock Auckland out

Big Day Out is to rock Auckland next January.The plan for the promoter Campbell Smith has announced the venue is going to be at Western Springs. The Auckland stop on the events Australasian circuit was cancelled after last years event. A big part of that new vision will be the festivals move from Mt Smart Stadium.
My Opion is why did they move the Big Day Out and what happened last year. It sound really fun but not a type of place that I would want to be.
